Recent Activities
Every enjoyed our second celebration collective worship of the year as there was so much for us to be proud of. Well done to those pupils who have worked hard in lessons to receive a certificate and also well done to our ‘Soar on Wings’ winners.
We all said a fond goodbye to Mrs Eagle and we wish her well in her new job.
The Year 4s have been exploring different ways of working out the area of a chape. We discovered that, using sticky notes, we could make lots of different shapes and still have the same area.
The Whole school community met together at our church to celebrate Harvest Festival with Reverend Phil. We sang hymns and thanked God for all the wonderful things in our world. Our harvest produce was donated to Martham food bank.
Everybody in the school took part in our Christmas production of Ned’s Christmas Discovery. Everybody learned their lines and performed them brilliantly. By the end of the performance, we all knew that the real meaning of Christmas was baby Jesus being born.
The whole school worked together to make their Christingles for the service. We learned what all the parts of the Christingle represented and reflected on the meaning of it all.
We all enjoyed creating our Christmas ornaments to hang on the tree although we all agreed that some parts were more difficult than others. I hope you like our ornaments too!
In DT Year 5 and 6 explored different tastes and categorised food in to their different flavours and found which flavours complimented each other. They then used this knowledge to research and design their own main meal using either peppers or salmon for their star ingredient.
We enjoyed making them with the help of Mrs Buckingham in the kitchen, and very, very much enjoyed tasting and evaluating them.
We have been learning about Egyptian harvest and how they farmed their land. We then designed our own Egyptian collars and appliqued felt shapes on to represent harvest. We had to learn how to do cross stich and running stitch to secure our designs. Afterwards, we evaluated what went well, how our sewing was successful and what we might do differently next time.
We visited the Castle Museum to take part in an Egyptian day to learn all about the Ancient Civilisation. Over the day, we had to decide whether we believed artefacts should be kept in Egypt in their tombs or excavated to be placed in museums for all to see.
We learned about Egyptian jewelry and we made a replica collar, we discussed and explored Egyptian artefacts and learned about daily life in Ancient Egypt.
It was an interesting debate at the end of the day with half the class voting to leave artifacts where they are and half voting to remove them for all to see in museums.
